An oil tanker chartered by Exxon and loading oil at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal off Russia's Black Sea coast was attacked and damaged by two drones on Friday, CPC officials said.
The incident highlights the growing risk of maritime security threats in the region, with several recent attacks on vessels and infrastructure. The CPC terminal is a critical hub for oil exports, and the attack on the Exxon-chartered tanker is a concerning development for the global oil market.
